I brought home from Israel the Rony Oren "Secrets of Clay" book and clay set. I saw his books and supplies everywhere and needed to try. Rony's technique is that anything can be made in clay with three basic shapes: hot dog, pancake, and sphere. I personally found the instructions in the book very simple to follow and the results wonderfully successful. To note, I don't have a lot of experience with clay. I'm not talented in ceramics or hand modeling clay. Rony's clay, however, I enjoyed thoroughly, and fully recommend. The colors are extremely vibrant and simple to mix. For a beginner looking to start using clay, this would be an excellent set.
The clay also came with some tools ^
The pages were filled with additional clay scenes and inspiration ^
And these were my results :)
Pros: clay comes in beautiful colors, book has clear instructions, tons of photo inspiration, easy to mold and work with
Cons: the clay cannot be baked or dried (it is plasticine clay intended for animations, etc.), the clay leaves a residue stain on some surfaces
